Here is another completed set of my vintage reefer repaints.

My older brother and I have been railfans and model railroaders for more than 50 years. This past year my brother (who only recently discovered MSTS/OR) has been asking me to repaint 100 different schemes of reefers so we could run colorful trains on our favorite routes. After several months of workl, I'm finally getting my promised cars completed.

As many have asked me about these paints, I'm also finally getting them packaged up for release here on Elvas.

So without further ado...here's another set.


=================

This is set 1 of 2 which represents the 'Hercules Powder Co.' cars.

The name Hercules comes from a potent and explosive black powder made by the California Powder Works. The company named their product after Hercules, the Greek mythological hero known for his strength, in order to signify how powerful the black powder was. What began as a California Powder Works plant site on the shores of San Pablo Bay grew into the company town of Hercules, which thrived through one hundred years, three transferals of ownership, and five wars. Hercules also had a powder plant in Brunswick,GA, likely supplying the navy bases on the East Coast.


======================


Note:

You will need the following shape from the 3DTrainstuff Donner Pass route (the reefers from Vintage over Tehachapi addon may also work) to use these repaints:
